Welcome to the Buu AI 3D Art Scene Gamejam!

Buu AI invites you to unleash your creativity in this virtual gamejam, where the spotlight shines on 3D art created with our revolutionary generative tools. Whether you’re an experienced artist or a curious newcomer, this is your chance to build immersive, awe-inspiring scenes and compete for a share of $5,000 in cash prizes. Unlike traditional gamejams, we’re prioritizing artistic vision over complex coding—your 3D scene is the masterpiece we’re here to celebrate.

What’s This Gamejam About?

• Focus on 3D Art: Design a visually captivating 3D scene using Buu AI’s generative tools. Think detailed environments, atmospheric lighting, and creative compositions.
• Minimal Gameplay Requirements: Include a simple character controller (e.g., WASD or arrow-key navigation) so judges can explore your scene. No intricate mechanics or scoring systems are needed—keep it art-first.
• Theme Reveal: Lost Civilizations!
• Prize Pool:
  • 1st Place: $3,000
  • 2nd Place: $1,500
  • 3rd Place: $500
• Key Eligibility Rule: Only submissions where at least 75% of the 3D assets are generated using Buu AI’s tools are eligible to win the listed prizes. 75%+ of your 3D assets must be Buu AI-generated to win cash. Don’t hit that? You can still submit and shine, just not for prizes. Adding a normal map and spectral map are fine as long as the original diffuse texture is untouched. You can optimize meshes as long as (1) it's the item generated unmodified from Buu AI and (2) you clearly explain what asset packages or libraries you used for mesh optimization and there the model does not change notably,
